Kris Allen - "The Vision Of Love"

[Kurt]

Now confirmed as the lead single from Kris's sophomore album--it's going for adds later this month, according to FMQB. (Here come the "why is Kris covering Mariah Carey?!" comments.)

A Maison & Dragen remix of the song leaked a few weeks ago, but there's no studio recording available yet.

[I Wish]

My favorite song of 2011 thus far. The remix is all kinds of amazing.

I hope the original holds a candle to it tbh.

[slamina]

The remix is pretty great. Hopefully, the original is as good!

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

I love this song in its remixed form. There's a very short clip of the album/single version and that sounds good too.

Hopefully we'll hear the original soon.

I'm really hoping the chorus sounds the same on the original version. So freaking hot. Now all I need is Kris shirtless in the video and we'll be off to a great start.

[overboard]

Very excited for this. The remix is awesome and I rarely like techno / dance remixes to songs that I didnt originally like.

Kris did a radio spot for a Donor's Choose charity push by Clear Channel and in it, they use the actual VOL in the background. Its like a 5 second preview of the song.

I didn't know Kris was signed to RCA. I really wish him and Kelly would do a duet. Would be freaking hot.

Kris was signed to Jive Records until last Fall when the RCA Music Group disbanded Jive, Arista, and J Records. Most of the artists signed to those aforementioned labels went to RCA.

Love the remix, hope the original is just as good. Love him.

[frank]

I love how the remix flipped the chord progression of the original into a dark, minor key.

[ZAYN]

YES!

[crazychick]

Technically, this still hasn't been confirm as the single, since neither RCA, his management or Kris himself have announced it. Hopefully that will change in the next week or so.

Love the dance remix and I'm hoping the original is as good

[ALEX GONE WILD]

I LIVE for that remix..

[Vic]

Not expecting this sound from Kris. Really excited for this.

[HolidayGuy]

Has he had dance mixes before?

I know remixes are all about repetition, but a few too many "we'll-stand-for-the-vision-of-love's."

[shoocoochoocoo]

is this a remix? i think it's an original song since i don't see any connection between this one and mariah's vision of love except for the title

The two are completely different songs. My comment about it in the first post was to the inevitable "Hot Mariah Carey cover!" posts that will come, haha.

[Ragin]

Okay, that sounds pretty darn good. I assumed he was done. Maybe not.

[dgarcia3377]

I can't wait to hear the original version soon.

There have been a couple of more uptempo single mixes of "Live Like We're Dying" and plenty of bootlegs, but this is the first proper one.

A clip for that one can be heard here:
audiko.net/ringtone/Kris+Allen/Live+Like+We're+Dying+(Riddler+Remix+Edit)

I think some bits of the chorus were removed for whatever reason and that might be why it's so repetitive. And they have that build up and breakdown too with the vocal loops.

[Rumors]

Turned it off after 3 minutes. Just not my cup of tea. Good luck to him with it, though.

That's just a remix though..

^^^^^
As stated above, this is just a remix & not even the final version of the remix.

You can actually hear part of the non-remix version at the end of this PSA that is playing on Clear Channel stations;

I seriously hope we get a radio edit of the Maison & Dragen remix. I think this is going to be one of those times where I prefer the remix over the original (like Dave Aude's remix of NA)

Kris has a show at The Mint tomorrow night and is promising to play some of his new music. Wonder if he will officially announce this as the single at this gig?

[ificanthaveyou]

Thank you for the edit Disco! Ughh, this is officially my favorite song of 2012. It just feels so, for lack of better words, epic. I hope this lasts still summer, because I want to be rocking out to this remix.

[ClevelandRox]

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE!

This news has made my day.

[franklin]

YASSS! SO EXCITED FOR THIS! I've been waiting forever for new Kris <3
The remix is orgasmic.
